British Council has launched the arts programme “Urban Futures” since early 2018 across North-East Asia, including Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and China. “Urban Futures” program aims to foster greater inclusion and innovation in cities through the arts. In Taiwan, we support cross-art institutions and practitioners to explore how art can make our cities more open, dynamic, inclusive and fit for the future. Our programme themes focus on the following topics:
- Art & Social Activism
- Art, Science & Digital Innovation
- Art & Disability
- Art & Ageing
This year, as part of the "Art, Science & Digital Innovation" initiative, British Council in Taiwan proudly presents the UK film "David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive" at the 2019 Taiwan European Film Festival in Taiwan. This will also be the eighth "Art, Science & Digital Innovation" project this year.
